. . .3,2,1You’re not the average reveler, so why ring in 2005 like everyone else?

Here are six fabulous, memorable ways to celebrate.

Every time you see this symbol, it means there’s a limited-time offer or redemption only available here.

THE OUI HOURSIs there anything more romantic than

saying bonjour to 2005 at Hotel Le Bristol

Paris? Just for InCirclers, the hotel has put

together two special packages. Stay a

minimum of three nights in a Deluxe

room and enjoy airport transfer on

arrival, champagne awaiting in your

room, dinner for two (excluding

beverages), buffet breakfast for two,

and a surprise Le Bristol gift—all for

2,990 euros. Or choose to spend at

least five nights in a Deluxe room

with everything mentioned above for

4,264 euros. The New Year’s Eve

dinner will be served in the Winter

Restaurant, followed by the hotel’s

party and capped off by fireworks in

the garden at midnight. To make your

reservations or request more information,

contact your Virtuoso travel specialist

at 1-800-953-4274.

SHAKE THINGS UPMaybe instead of hitting the town on the

big night, you should invite over a few

friends for a happening evening at home.

Really, is there anything cooler than putting

on a Rat Pack record (yes, we mean a

good, old-fashioned record, not a CD)

and making the perfect martini yourself?

Actually, there is one thing—serving up your

drinks with a gorgeous martini set from

Christofle. For 75,000 points, redeem for

this hip gift, which includes a pair of

glasses, shaker, “Oscar” cocktail spoon,

and tray, plus a set of six hemstitched linen

cocktail napkins. Want to know our secret

for a just-right finishing touch? Put ice water

in the glasses while you mix the ingredients

in the shaker. When you’re ready to pour,

toss the ice water and you’ll have two

perfectly chilled glasses.

BUBBLY PERSONALITYWe don’t recommend sipping the

finest champagne in the world from

just any old flute. We prefer our

bubbly in elegant crystal stemware

from Steuben Glass. In fact, to mark

its one-hundredth anniversary,

Steuben has introduced a line of

stemware, barware, and drinking

accessories for the first time in more

than a decade. Each piece in the

collection is meticulously crafted on a

limited-production basis, employing

age-old glassmaking techniques. And

you’ll be pleased to know that at

15,000 points you may redeem for a

set of four “Heavy Cut” double old-

fashioned glasses monogrammed

with the initial of your choice.

MAKE YOURSELF HOMESee what midnight looks like in Los Cabos,

Tuscany, or Snowmass. It’s easy with

Exclusive Resorts, a private luxury residence

club for sophisticated travelers. Instead of

owning, maintaining, and worrying about

secondary residences, as a member you

have access anytime to more than 200

vacation homes in over 25 of the world’s

greatest destinations. What’s more, the

concierge service ensures that before you

even arrive, the refrigerator is stocked,

your tee times are arranged, and dinner

reservations are made. These homes

average $2.5 million each and combine

the spacious freedom of a private residence

with the services, amenities, and convenience

of a premier resort. For more information,

call toll-free 1-866-243-5822 or visit

exclusiveresorts.com. InCirclers will

receive 50,000 InCircle Rewards points

on their NM account when they join.

PINK JACKETREQUIREDTurn up the heat on your

wardrobe this holiday season

when you visit The Man’s Store.

Branch out, be festive—wear

something you normally

wouldn’t. After all, no one will

stand out more in a sea of black

tuxedos than you in this

incredible pink shantung men’s

jacket by Armani Collezioni

(1,295.00). And when the

social season comes to a close,

pack up the jacket and jet off to

your favorite resort destination. It

will fit in swimmingly.

TAKE A SHINE TO THISCreate your own fireworks this New Year’s Eve

with a beautiful piece of jewelry from Designer

Jewelry, including this JudeFrances necklace of

18-karat white gold, topaz, and diamond

(1,840.00) or Ron Hami 18-karat white gold and

diamond necklace (3,850.00). Whether for a

special occasion or not, there’s no time like the

present to begin a new tradition of gift giving.

So dazzle her with diamonds that are the perfect

crowning touch to any evening ensemble. You’ll

never again hear “I have nothing to wear.”

NM DALLAS DOWNTOWN The flagship store in Big D put on quite the party to kick off the Crystal Charity season. The annual Fall

Fashion Show and Luncheon is typically a who’s who of the city’s glitterati, and this year did not disappoint. Tables for the always sold-out Fashion Show are priced at

$3,000, $5,000, and $10,000—raising funds for what has been ranked the best charity for children in the U.S. by Town & Country magazine. The fashion show

presented the latest from CHANEL, featuring models (and guest models) who paraded down a runway that replicated the one for the Paris CHANEL show. Guests were

overheard whispering in awe at the store’s transformation and the beautiful designs that were showcased. After all, what better place to spot the perfect dress for the

upcoming Crystal Charity Ball?

HOURHOUSE

A hard-to-find watch has become the new status symbol. After all, one can’t exactly drive an

automobile into a boardroom or cocktail party. What’s more, one of these watches will last a lifetime,

becoming an heirloom to pass down to II, III, IV, and so on. “We seek rare timepieces so our customers

can wear a watch that nobody else in the world has,” says Amy Martin, watch buyer in the Precious

Jewels Salon of Neiman Marcus. She also notes a growing trend: building a watch wardrobe. And

since the Precious Jewels Salon carries 40 Swiss watch brands, it’s the destination of choice for those

assembling a collection. Here are eight styles guaranteed to turn heads and command respect.

CAPITALIDEA

NM is the place to be during the 2005 Presidential Inauguration. Of course, you’ll

need all new eveningwear and accessories for this most auspicious occasion. We

vote you join us for the many trunk shows and special events in the weeks leading up

to the big day.

BE OUR GUESTInCirclers are invited to visit both NM Tysons Galleria

and NM Mazza Gallerie for exciting events and special

presentations during the inaugural festivities.

HISTORIC REDEMPTIONWith 400,000 points, you can be part of history during three nights at

Call toll-free 1-888-INCIRCLE (1-888-462-4725) to redeem for this trip.

OPEN WIDE

Every time you see this symbol, it means there’s a fabulous giveaway involved. To enter, simply complete and return the appropriate coupon found in the Entry Point section.

The best part about giving someone a present may just be the moment they open the box and discover what’s inside—you know, the little gasp of

surprise, ear-to-ear grin, or shriek of elation. Here are a few of our favorite gifts that practically guarantee a reaction of satisfaction.

DREAM WEAVERS Here’s a holiday riddle for

you: What’s soft, warm, and

cool at the same time? NM

Exclusive cashmere from

Intimate Apparel, of course!

Who wouldn’t want to receive

a luxurious piece from the

newest collection? Choose

from robes, gowns, lounging

sets, and more. All are created

from the finest cashmere in the

world in an array of appealing

hues such as camel, ivory,

black, green, burgundy, pink,

aqua, and—naturally—red for

the holidays. Visit your nearest

NM to see the full line and

eenntteerr ttoo wwiinn aa ggoowwnn,, rroobbee,,

ppaajjaammaa ttoopp,, oorr ppaajjaammaa

bboottttoommss (a $495 value).

HOW SWEET OF YOUHand out the G Collection from Godiva

and you’ll experience a surge in

popularity. These delectable treats are

limited-edition assortments that contain

encore favorites as well as new flavors

such as Apple Pie, P.B. & Jam, Vanilla

Mascarpone, and Vermont Maple Walnut.

Handmade from exquisite ingredients in

Norman Love’s studio, each morsel is hand

decorated with custom-designed colored

cocoa butter and has no preservatives.

One could successfully make the case that

these are edible works of art. Choose from

boxes of 15, 30, or 48 pieces. Find them

in Epicure and Candies and eenntteerr ttoo wwiinn aa

3300--ppiieeccee bbooxx (a $75 value).

HOUSE BEAUTIFULHis name is synonymous with dazzlingly

beautiful objets d’art, but did you know that

Jay Strongwater began his career by designing

jewelry while still a design student? One thing

led to another, and one holiday he gifted his

buyer friends with handmade photo frames that

bore his earrings in each corner. And the rest,

as they say, is history. Today, Strongwater’s

“jewels for the home” include not only photo

frames but also fanciful key chains, charming

collectible boxes, and a stunning Art

Deco–inspired clock (1,275.00). Each

piece is hand enameled and hand set

with brilliant Swarovski crystals, and

available in Home Decor.

TO CAP IT ALL OFFEven the man who has everything probably doesn’t have a new mink hat. But he

should. It is, after all, one of the must-have accessories of the season. Fur is where

it’s at—and not just the fall runways. Gentlemen are getting in on the act, too.

The look is everywhere from successful entrepreneurs to young, hip guys looking

for fashion-forward accessories—to wit, this one by Crown Cap (280.00) in

Men’s Furnishings.

SHOOT FORHOOPSDiamond jewelry is one gift

that never goes out of style.

Who doesn’t love to see that

neatly wrapped little box that

you just know has something

wonderful in it? Something

wonderful like 18-karat white

gold and pavé diamond

hoop earrings from Garavelli

(15,000.00) perhaps? You’ll

find these and similar

goodies in the Precious

Jewels Salon.

TOP FIVE REASONS TO GIVE AN NM GIFT CARD:

5. Nobody really wants a white-elephant gift

4. Giving one leaves more time to shop for yourself

3. It doesn’t matter if they already have one

2. You don’t have to wrap it

1. One size fits all

PRESENTS WITH PRESENCEEveryone loves a present from Neiman Marcus—

especially one they can choose themselves. So start

checking names off your holiday gift list, because we

have just the thing for everyone: the NM Gift Card®.

It’s easy to mail in a card, slip into a stocking, or hand

out at dinner. Plus, it’s available in any denomination

and redeemable in stores and online. Pick up a cheery

seasonal design or a traditional

style at your nearest NM.

Don’t forget: December 31, 2004, is the last day to earn points for this year’s rewards.

YOU OUGHTA

BE IN PICTURESIf you’ve been looking for something to

give those who love jewelry or photo

frames—or both—call off the search.

Clever designs from Monica Rich Kosann

are the perfect solution. The photographer

originally collected vintage cigarette cases

and compacts and turned them into petite

folding image cases. She eventually

developed her own designs, available in

Home Decor. And in Designer Jewelry,

there are 18-karat gold charm bracelets

with miniature dangling frames that are,

well, charming.

CHARMED, I’M SURE

Monica Rich Kosann 18-karat gold

bracelet, 2,850.00. Designer Jewelry.

THE BRIGHT SIDEThere’s no rule that says you must enjoy the holidays at home. We’re all for starting new traditions in

unexpected places full of sunshine, whiling away the hours doing exactly as you wish.

Every time you see this symbol, it means there’s a limited-time offer or redemption only available here.

TOUCH DOWN INJACKSONVILLE

Are you ready for some football? Then sit

back and enjoy a sports fan’s number

one fantasy come true—tickets and first-

class accommodations for the 2005

National Football Championship at

ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.

From February 3–7, you’ll be where all

the action is and rub elbows with the

who’s who in football during your

four-night stay at the only five-star hotel

in Jacksonville. Lower-level sideline

seating for the big event is included, of

course, along with an invitation to the

NFL Alumni Player of the Year Gala

Awards Dinner where you will be

seated with a current or former NFL

player. And you may customize your

trip with extra nights, upgrades, and

inclusion in other NFL Alumni Events.

Score big during this limited-time

redemption for 800,000 points.

SHIP OUTIf the hustle and bustle that traditionally marks the

season is more than you had hoped, escape it all with

a Silversea® voyage. Whether you want an intimate

getaway or decide to take the entire family, we think

you’ll have the time of your life. A crew-to-passenger

ratio of 1.5 to 1 ensures you won’t worry about a

single thing. From the moment you step aboard and are

greeted with a flute of champagne, you’re treated as

royalty. Choose to redeem for one of three seven-night

itineraries: the Caribbean in a Veranda Suite for

200,000 points, the Mediterranean in a Silver Suite for

400,000, or Northern Europe and the Baltic coast in

the Owner’s Suite for 2,000,000.

FANTASTIC VOYAGEWith so many exotic places to visit, it’s hard to keep up.

That’s where Nota Bene comes in. It’s an independent,

impartial publication that covers luxury resorts and cities,

reviewing their hotels, restaurants, shops, and nightlife. Its

editors don’t accept complimentary tickets, rooms, meals, or

drinks. They travel anonymously and take many of their

own photographs so that you truly know what a stay will

be like. Nota Bene provides insider info to ensure you

get the most out of your trip, such as pointing out which

room in a chic resort is the best. And luckily for you, a

subscription is available for redemption at 10,000 points.

Redeem for it at NeimanMarcus.com.

TAKE A LITTLE TRIPA vacation is the perfect excuse to

pick up a few new frocks. Christian

Lacroix has some elegant styles that

will be right at home in any tropical

locale. We especially like the flirty,

feminine printed top (940.00) and

skirt (675.00) sporting an asymmetric

hem. Stop by the Couture Salon to

see the full collection, and while

you’re there, eenntteerr ttoo wwiinn aa mmiinniiaattuurree

JINGLE ALL THE WAYBangles from Ippolita could quite

possibly be the perfect vacation

accessories. Maybe it’s the twinkle

that catches your eye as you reach

for your drink (complete with

umbrella) or the delicate jingle they

make as you stroll from shop to

shop. They go with everything,

especially a tan. And they can be

dressed up or down—there are

even diamond bangles for when

you feel like kicking it up a notch.

Travel to NM and see these

designs (400.00–3,800.00) in

Designer Jewelry before jetting off

to your next exotic locale.

COLOR HIM HAPPYLime, pink, fuchsia, and sky blue—even

the colors of these Ralph Lauren Purple

Label shirts make you think resort. A

blend of cotton and cashmere, they’re

great for evenings spent strolling on the

deck or walking on the beach at sunset.

You’ll find these pre-trip souvenirs in

Men’s Sportswear (295.00 each).

So roll up your sleeves and get

packing. And when you return, your new

attire will always serve as a

colorful reminder of your stay.

It’s been said that good things come to those who wait. And now

there’s proof: It took designer Henry Dunay three years to collect the

stones used in this stunning ruby and diamond jewelry. The result of

his patience speaks volumes in favor of taking one’s time.

He sought out 32 of the deep red gems for similarity in shape and

color. ”I have always loved Burmese rubies,” Dunay says. “I feel they

have the best color in the world. And these rubies in particular are

very special because they have a natural depth of color.” He also

bided his time to collect 32 brilliant, similarly sized oval-cut diamonds

with great clarity. The earrings feature both round- and marquise-cut

diamonds accented by yet more spectacular Burmese rubies.

Because Dunay hand selected each stone, this suite is one of a

kind. To find out more about these and other unique pieces, visit

our Precious Jewels Salon.

NM DALLAS DOWNTOWN Dallas was among four cities in the world—along with New York, Los Angeles, and London—where

Tom Ford made a personal appearance to sign his new eponymous book. NM Downtown was transformed on not only one but two floors: The second-floor Couture Salon

morphed into a sophisticated Asian-themed setting, complete with sushi chef, for a VIP reception. And the entire first floor became an adult playground. Models of both

sexes pole-danced provocatively high atop the jewelry counters while guests sipped blue cosmopolitans and indulged in blue cotton candy and blue raspberry frozen

treats. The guest of honor chatted with attendees all night as he signed books (and shoes and shirts and jackets). Guest Angie Barrett’s favorite part of the evening? “Tom

signing the inside of my pants!” she laughed.

THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE

Mrs. John L. Strong stationery; price

available upon request. Home Decor.

Isn’t it such a rare and delightful treat

to receive a handwritten thank-you

note in the mail? We think so, too.

Mrs. John L. Strong has helped people

express appreciation in style since 1929,

when the company set the standard for

social stationery by offering hand-

engraved, hand-finished papers.

Patrons have included presidents and

their families, cultural icons, and

luminaries such as the Duke and

Duchess of Windsor. Today, the art

of letter writing is back. And at NM,

you’ll find the cutest little boxed sets

perfect for jotting a postholiday

note of thanks.

NM SAN FRANCISCO UNION SQUARE The City on the Bay kicked off the evening with cocktails to celebrate the

personal appearance of designer Giuliana Teso and her son Marco. More than 100 guests mingled with their libations in the Couture Salon—directly in front of the Fur

Salon where Ms. Teso’s fall collection was on display. Everyone gathered for a formal fashion show of the designs, followed by a seated dinner. Attendees raved about

the gourmet menu as well as the floor’s metamorphosis into a cool, sleek, blue environment.
